You simply can NOT go wrong with a Vette. Very cool and looking forward to more. A couple of months ago I saw an LS-5 454 Vette on a car lot for 19K and MAN I wanted that thing!! I lifted the hood to make sure it did in fact have the big block in it and there it was. Man the things that I could do with a car like that...…  ……….. Snap out of it Joe !!!!!  I aint got the money for that!!! LOL. I dunno if it'll be a Vette or not but one o deez dayz I will have a big block hot rod in my drive way.  |

Thanks Joe. I've heard that the big block Vettes didn't handle as well as small block ones.

As much as I love the look and sound of a Vette - 'handling' is not a word I ascociate with American cars of that era   |

I would , however, rather have a Vette with a big block in it than something like a 67-68 Mustang with one. Good Lord the front ends on Mustangs back then was flimsy trash!! At least the Vette was a somewhat stable platform in the turns. |

You can make a C3 Vette handle! It just takes money and the willingness to accept some loss in comfort. The '68 Vette that I crewed on back in '88 would hold 1 plus G on the skid pad!
